A
There is no clear relationship between clowns and fast food. Yet everyone blindly accepts Ronald McDonald, one of the most famous clowns in the world, as the mascot (吉祥物) of McDonald's. This is partly because Ronald has held the role for over 50 years. I'd say some people hardly consider him as a clown, considering the behavior that clowns are generally known for.
But what inspired McDonald's to make a clown the face of their fast food company? Funnily enough, it was another clown: Bozo.
Bozo the Clown was the star of several television shows during the 1950s to 1970s. At that time, advertising manager Barry Klein worked with The Bozo Show in Washington, D．C. and he had a local McDonald's franchise (经销权), so he talked McDonald's into running ads during the show, the Baltimore Sun reported.
Unfortunately, the show was stopped in 1963, but Klein saw a chance to make use of Bozo's popularity. Klein brought the actor who had played Bozo, Willard Scott, onto the project, and soon the clown came to life. His nose was a McDonald's cup and his hat was a food tray (托盘). He was Ronald McDonald, the Hamburger-Happy Clown. Then, McDonald's managers employed Michael Polakovs, a famous clown, to give the character an improvement. The result was the look we all know today.
According to Eric Schlosser, the author of Fast Food Nation, the only fictional (虚构的) character more famous than Ronald McDonald is Santa Claus. But in the eyes of McDonald's, Ronald has the same level of childhood wonder — the jolly old elf (圣诞老人)．

For a traveler, it can be challenging to find ways to respect the environment while still having an enjoyable vacation. Travelling by train is a good way for both travelers and the environment. Moreover, rail operators worldwide have the growing concern about environmental sustainability (可持续发展) of their trains.
Amtrak, the American national rail operator, has made a great contribution to environmental sustainability over the past ten years. Amtrak has greatly reduced its fuel consumption (消耗) by using new forms of green technology and energysaving practices. These practices include the use of lighter train cars and clean fuel. According to Climate Counts, an organization that grades companies according to their environmental practices, Amtrak is a pioneering company. This means that they have always improved their environmental record.
Thanks to the prevalence of railways throughout the continent, European trains are highly sustainable. Trains are the primary form of international travel in Europe. Many of the European lines are slower regional trains that have frequent stops. Though high-speed railways are certainly faster, they need far more fuel. Therefore, we can say that many of the things that make railways popular also make them environmentally-friendly.
Europe isn't the only region having an environmentally-friendly rail system. Shinkansen, also called the bullet train, is a network of high-speed railway lines in Japan operated by five Japan Railways Group companies. The original Tōkaidō Shinkansen, connecting the largest cities of Tokyo and Osaka, is the world's busiest high-speed railway line. It has transported more passengers than any other high-speed line in the world. Shinkansen has recently both increased its speed and cut back its energy consumption by 40%. By reducing the trains' weight and redesigning their shape and length, the trains are now far more efficient (高效的)．
【语篇解读】 火车旅行既环保又休闲。本文介绍了美国、欧洲以及日本铁路在节能环保方面做出的努力。

C．Advertisement. D．Appearance.
答案与解析：B 词义猜测题。根据第三段的“Trains are the primary form of international travel in Europe.”以及“Therefore, we can say that many of the things that make railways popular also make them environmentally-friendly.”可知，火车在欧洲大陆非常“流行”。
6．What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A．Europe has more high-speed railways than Asia.
B．Japan's high-speed railways are the best in Asia.
C．Shinkansen trains have become the most efficient trains in the world.
D．Japan also makes an effort to improve their trains' environmental sustainability.
答案与解析：D 推理判断题。根据第四段的“Shinkansen has recently both increased its speed and cut back its energy consumption by 40%. By reducing the trains' weight and redesigning their shape and length, the trains are now far more efficient.”可知，日本铁路在环保节能方面也做出了努力。

A natural disaster is coming, one that can take the lives of thousands and hospitalize (使住院) tens of thousands more: the yearly flu. Last year, about 900,000 Americans were hospitalized and more than 80,000 people died from the flu. To make matters worse, many of these people died needlessly.
The flu vaccination (疫苗接种) rate in the United States is around 45%. If we could increase this rate to 70%, most of the deaths, hospitalization and missed days of work would be avoided. But to do that, we need to properly encourage vaccination.
Right now, if you're a healthy person, a flu shot (注射) might reduce your personal risk of coming down with the flu by 40% to 60%. Getting a flu shot also does something else: It helps protect the people around you who most easily suffer serious flu illness, particularly the very old and the very young. A vaccine that is 60% effective on a 30-year-old person, for example, may be only 30% effective on someone over 65. Babies are especially hospitalized for flu at surprising rates.
A new study by Corey White has measured these powerful effects of flu vaccination. Using 50-state data from 1994 to 2016, he finds that each percentage point increase in the U．S. vaccination rate would result in 807 fewer deaths. These benefits gradually increase over time until we reach the herd immunity (群体免疫). Most of those who have been saved are people over 75. So if you want to save the lives of grandmothers and grandfathers in your community, get a flu shot.
To White's pleasure, he found another_community_effect_of_flu_shots. An increase of one percentage point in the vaccination rate would result in 15 million fewer lost work hours nationwide. That means that your failure to get a flu shot will, on average, cause five hours of pay to be lost.
We cannot accept that tens of thousands of Americans die each year from flu right now. Through wise decisions and quick actions, we can start saving lives today.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文。流感危害巨大，作者倡议大家接种流感疫苗，这样既可以保护接种者，也可以保护身边的人。
7．What can we know about the flu mentioned in Paragraph 1?

B．It resulted in great harm to Americans.
C．It attracted much attention of the government.

Ⅱ.七选五
According to medical experts, people do not need food as much as they need water. If you are in good physical shape, you are likely to survive longer. In fact, the body stores fat and other forms of energy. The fatter you are, the more fat your body can store. __1__
The survival time without food also depends on how fast a person burns food. These who use up food energy faster will probably not survive as long as those who burn food energy more slowly. Climate also plays an important role in it. __2__ However, hot climate allows you to go on longer without replacing food.
__3__ It may lead to physical weakness or confusion. After many weeks without food, your body organs can fail one after another. Even so, people can still survive without food for up to two months as long as they have enough to drink.
However, living without water can be a very different story. Every minute, we lose water through breathing and other activities. The water that our bodies lose must be replaced so that our organs can work properly. __4__ Otherwise, we may suffer a heat stroke (中暑)．
Dehydration (严重脱水) can lead to many illnesses. In the beginning, you may just suffer a dry mouth or a fast heartbeat. __5__ Therefore, you should never go on without water for a day or more.
A．Water helps us cool down in the heat.
B．However, we can't live long without water.
C．That is why fatter people can survive longer.
D．Cold weather makes you use up more energy.
E．Eating too much is not necessary in our daily life.
F．But a few weeks later, you may be in a state of shock.
G．Eating too little causes your body to react in some special ways.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要指出了相比于食物，人们存活更需要水。人们体内可以存储一些脂肪和能量备用，而呼吸和其它身体活动却随时随地在消耗人们体内的水分。
答案与解析：
1．C 此空设于段尾，与上文存在逻辑上的指代关系。本句中的That指代的是前一句提到的“The fatter you are, the more fat your body can store.”
2．D 此空设于段中，是对前一句的进一步解释。此句和后一句都是对前一句的进一步解释。前一句指出，气候在人们存活的过程中扮演着很重要的角色，此句和后一句分别提出冷天气和炎热的气候是如何具体影响的。
3．G 此空设于段首，是本段的主题句。此句提出，吃得太少会使身体作出一些特殊的反应。接着后文再具体描述这些反应。
4．A 此空设于段中，与后文存在转折关系。本段主要是讲缺水可能会带来的后果。后一句句意为：否则，我们可能会中暑。可推测，此句是提出水可以使我们在炎热的天气下凉快下来。
5．F 此空设于段中，是对第一句的进一步解释。第一句指出，严重脱水可以导致很多疾病，而前一句提出了刚开始的后果，所以可推测，此句是表明几周后，你可以会处于休克状态。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
Nowadays, we all live in a digital (数字的) world. And today's schools are buying fewer textbooks and are more often using them only as classroom or library reference materials or to teach special topics. Many schools are trying to spend more and more money on digital materials to help teaching. But it's not all good news. Schools are also facing new difficulties brought on by going digital.
Textbooks are easy to use, but the same is not necessarily true for digital education resources (资源). They're different in quality, and choosing the right resources can be a big difficulty for schools. In this case, it means that a teacher's ability to choose good digital resources has become particularly important for digital teaching. Teachers need to be able to find the right resources for their lessons and make sure they're of high quality.
Yet most teachers can hardly get the opportunity to learn how to choose and make their students accept those digital materials easily. Therefore, although good digital teaching resources exist, not enough teachers are able to make good use of them. Research shows that most teachers are not confident when they are asked about their knowledge and skills in digital material choosing.
There's also a question of cost. Well-equipped schools are positive about “going digital”， beginning to reduce their textbook costs to buy more digital materials. However, a lot of schools struggle to cover the costs of making this transition. Similarly, some schools in remote (偏远的) areas find it difficult to have wireless (无线的) or high-speed Internet services needed for digital learning. So it's really impossible for these schools to go digital in a short time.
It's true that digital teaching has many advantages. For example, digital materials can support classroom learning topics, and introduce different teaching methods for each student's unique learning needs. Besides, children can develop positive feelings from mastering new knowledge and skills by using digital learning tools. However, schools' going digital still faces a lot of problems. To really make good use of digital learning resources, schools should try to solve these problems first.

B．She is very concerned about its future.

Ⅳ.短文改错
I have loved writing since I am a young girl. My main inspiration for characters in my writing comes from “people watching” which I do anywhere — on the bus, walk around, in restaurants. I also listen people's conversations, that is quite inspiring too. Beside, some of my idea for stories and topics to write about come from personal life experiences. For an example, when I do something I'm really proud of, I often turn them into a piece of writing. I also like to write when I go on holiday or on day trips. Final, I'm inspired to write more when the weather is fine, because I can sit outside, in the sunshine, or write in my notebooks.

Ⅱ.阅读理解
Children experience advertising in many forms — on TV, radio, magazines, newspapers, movies, the Internet, text messages, social media (媒体) and more. And advertising works on children. For example, the more TV a child watches, the more toys that child is likely to want and ask for. This is why it's important for children to learn that advertisements are trying to make people purchase something. And advertisers always aim to make their products look good, perhaps even better than they really are.
Advertising affects children in different ways. How children think of advertising can depend on several things, including their age, what they know or have experienced.
At 0～2 years, children can't tell the difference between advertising and actual programs.
At 3～6 years, children can recognize advertisements and tell them from programs, but they don't understand that ads are trying to sell something. And they are likely to think of advertisements as being funny.
At 7～11 years, when children go to primary school, they can understand that advertisements are trying to sell them something, remember advertising messages and recognize some advertising techniques (策略) like advertisements overstating (夸大) how good products are. However, they might not always understand that products aren't as good as advertisements say they are, or that advertisers might not be telling them any of the products' bad points.
To limit the effects of advertising on school-age children, the most important thing parents can do is talk about advertisements and encourage their children to think about what they're trying to do.
It's a good idea to focus on the advertisements that a child sees most often. For example, parents can get their children thinking and developing a questioning attitude. In other words, what's the product in this advertisement? What is it for? Who is it for?
They can also ask their children about the techniques that are being used to sell a product. This can help them work out how an advertisement makes its product look good.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章介绍孩子们对广告的认知以及如何引导孩子正确看待广告。
1．What does the underlined word “purchase” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A．Watch. B．Say.
C．Buy. D．Discuss.
答案与解析：C 词义猜测题。由第一段中的“For example, the more TV a child... want and ask for...”可知，孩子们电视看得越多，想要买的东西越多，那么作为父母应该让孩子知道广告的目的就是说服人们“购买”东西。
2．What do children aged 0～2 think of advertisements?
A．They are pretty funny.
B．They are trying to sell toys.
C．They are being shown in many ways.
D．They are no different from other programs.
答案与解析：D 细节理解题。由第三段中的“At 0～2 years, children can't tell... actual programs...”可知，0～2岁的孩子认为广告和其他节目没有区别。
3．At what age can children know advertisements are not telling the truth?
A．2. B．3.
C．5. D．8.
答案与解析：D 细节理解题。由第五段中的“... recognize some advertising techniques... good products are...”可知，7～11岁的孩子逐渐能够判断出广告中的内容有夸大成分，并非全部属实。
4．How can parents limit the influence of advertising on their children?
A．By guiding them to see through advertisements.
B．By teaching them how to run advertisements.
C．By buying advertised products and comparing them.
D．By talking about the most successful advertisements.
答案与解析：A 推理判断题。由倒数第二段中的“For example, parents can get their children... Who is it for...”可知，父母要引导孩子看清广告的真面目。

__5__ If you're not sure whether you should change an answer, it's best not to. More often than not, your first instinct (本能) will be correct.
